Good luck! Take each thing as it comes. I keep telling myself there is no point worrying about things that can't be controlled. In the end it will all be worth it. To be able to look in a mirror when trying on clothes . To be able to not wear a sweater to avoid rolls over pants:). To be able to feel healthy and energetic:). Ahhhhhb

Lookingforwardtothin I am from Wallingford

Thank you mafia ruin. I am freaking out. It is really not nice to make an over weight person run on a treadmill

Where R you from sittingpretty?

Still no answers. Have to do another stress test tomorrow. Won't know if surgery is on until tomorrow night. Talk about last minute. Added stress is not nice

Good luck to all the march 25 sleevers

I am suppose to find out today at 330. But I am not sure how that is possible since the technician told me my results won't be ready til Wednesday. A little to late since wed is my surgery day. Ughbbh. This stress is making me not sleep

Lookingforwardtothin. I am seeing Jennifer Nelson in the Yale Cardiac Group. Petrified they are going to tell me I can't have surgery. U have never had any heart problems. But my Ekgs were off. Hellooooo someone please tell my body that I am 40 not 90n

Mariabruin. I will be in Guilford tomorrow praying I get cardiac clearance. Hang in there.

I think it is hard for anyone who isn't going thru this to really understand. My husband is great but he really does not understand the scariness of such a life changing surgery. I think the physical and emotional feelings that we are describing are indescribable. Hang in there. We can be here for each other

Only a few days away. Hard to believe. I am in a bit of limbo because my doctor had me do additional heart testing. I'm a nervous wreck that I am not going to be cleared for Wednesday. I want to be excited for surgery but don't want to be too disappointed if it gets cancelled. How is everyone feeling? Prepared?

I have a cardio halter on for 24 hours and a heart ultra sound on Monday. Hoping the results are in by Tuesday so I can get clearance for surgery Wednesday. Not feeling optimistic. My family keeps saying it might not be meant to be to have my surgery. They do not understand how much mental prep goes into this decision

Have you met w the anethesiologist

My process has been simple so far. 1 1/2 hour mtg with nutrionist and a psych eval. Then EKG and blood work pre op. I don't even have a pre op diet. I have made soooo many arrangements for my kids. Can't believe it might get rescheduled

Keep up the fluid drinking. Good luck sunshine girl

Berrie23. Hopefully you have good support when you get home.

Sorry dfdscott

How are you feeling about all this? Your surgery is sooooo close

Good luck berrie23

How are you sunshine girl? Does it feel like you expected?

I did not have to do ketosis. I am a week away from surgery and doing a low cal diet. Sooo excited and yet nervous. I went for pre op tests today and my pulse was racing. Nurse kept asking if I was ok. God I hope I am not like that on surgery day. Just wondering, if anyone is within 30 minutes or so, I would live to have s buddy to celebrate our milestones. Maybe pedicure at 3 month or something like that. It would be nice to get together with someone that can relate

Hopefully it isn't too far off. The waiting is so hard. Which dr ?

I am from CT. Having surgery at Yale on March 27th

Nope. March 13th meeting.

Dr Roberts at Yale is doing my surgery on the 27th. I am very excited. But it seems like he is way more strict about post op diet. I am afraid to stray from it all
